View Work Samples – once you’ve gotten a few names, try searching online for their blog as well as their social media page. It is likely that some of their work are showcased and advertised there, thus allowing you to view samples of their work.
Schedule a Meeting – after viewing the works of different wedding photographers, try scheduling an appointment with the one you think has the better skill among those you have viewed. Once you meet up with your potential wedding photographer, try asking more about them as well as certain details involving the work at hand and the schedule you have for the wedding.
Pricing – wedding photographers will usually have different packages available, some of which may include additional coverage of the wedding such as video coverage or perhaps artistic prenuptial photography.
Contract – once you have both agreed to the terms, there should be a contract written as this safeguards you as the client that the person you have hired to cover your wedding day event will be the one who will be showing up during that day and not any substitute.

As co-host of CBC Radio’s “As It Happens” for 17 years, Barbara’s voice has become recognized around the world. But prior to taking up her place behind the mic, she was an accomplished actor appearing in major theatres across Canada. In five seasons (and over 20 productions) at the Stratford Festival, she played leading roles in The Beggars Opera, Othello, As You Like It, The Servant Of Two Masters, etc.
When she became a Mom, Barbara changed course, concentrating on voice work and limiting her stage appearances to hosting concerts with the major symphony orchestras of Canada. For 8 years she hosted The Jeunesse Musicale Concerts at Roy Thomson Hall and Harbourfront Centre, and she is featured on 5 internationally acclaimed Classical Kids CDs. Less recognizable is her voice on the scores of animation series for which she has created a wide range of wacky characters. Writing credits include The Joni Mitchell Tribute Night and The Phillipe Starke Night for The International Festival of Creative Genius.
She is presently recording her fourth season as Narrator of the very successful TV series, “Mighty Ships” on The Discovery Channel.
